Sam and Dean are in over their heads
with the Leviathans but they take time out to deal with serial deaths
in a nearby town. What hideous creature are they hunting now and why
would Sam want to protect it?
Spoilers
The cliffhanger from last week led me
to believe the Hospital was going to be the primary setting for this
episode but very quickly they get out of there. We then skip three
weeks later. Not sure why this hold over from last week – perhaps
they just ran over and had to finish this week. Anyhow Sam stumbles
across a series of murders that seem to have a familiar M.O from his
childhood. Sam encounters a monster he has met before and now must
decide what to do.
This episode is told with flashbacks
from Sam's point of view as well as events of the present. We learn
that Sam meets a cute girl, Amy during an early mission when he was a
teenager. The cute girl turns out to be a type of monster that eats
brains. He had let her go all those years ago and now it appears she
is killing again. Sam confronts Amy Pond (Jewel Staite) and finds
out that she controls her feeding by consuming the brains of dead
people at work (She is now a mortician). She was forced into killing
three criminals and low lifes to save her young son from an illness
but promises Sam she will never kill again.
Dean doesn't buy it and goes to do his
job. He kills Amy Pond but lets her son go. The son promises that
when he gets older that he would kill Dean.
Okay, first off I am not mixing up
series here. Jewel Staite's character is called Amy Pond whether as
an alias or that is her real name.
The story is pretty good if not
predictable. Not sure why Dean feels he must kill poor Kaylee ( I
mean Amy Pond, I mean....) and not kill the son who now has no source
of food that his mom was providing. I understand the point but Dean
seems to have missed something there. Anyhow, the episode is
directed by Jensen Ackles (Dean) himself and is a good little break
from the ongoing Leviathan story line even though they do factor in
at the beginning and end of the episode.
